I am running 2 name servers in 2 different cities. We have different IP pools which are distributed between the 2 cities users. We want to have only one authoritative server for all the IP Pools.
The issue is we have a pool x.x.165.0 running in one city while the authoritative DNS server is at other city. The question is how I can refer the PTR or reverse zone entries maintained on the other DNS server.
To make it simple, City A runs Server A and City B runs Server B. There is only one authorized server which is server A for queries. We dont maintain all the reverse and PTR entries on server A. We want if a query for PTR record or reverse map comes to Server A, it will refer to server B which maintains and keeps the PTR and reverse records for x.x.165.x pool. In short I dont want to maintain PTR entries on both machines. How to do this referral
I have these files on Server A machine
domain.db
db.x.x.165.x file but that file doesnt contain any PTR entry it should just refer to the server B.
You may be describing classless in-addr.arpa delegations. See RFC 2317 for details on this. It would allow you to delegate some of your reverse addresses to another DNS server.
